What's your best audio "find"


Several years ago I stumbled upon some old McIntosh tube separates at a garage sale: tuner, amp and pre-amp in mint condition for $50 each. I bought 'em, and I think it is probably the best deal ever. Can you beat it?

Best in terms of pure value may be the mhdt Constantine DAC used for $350 or so.

Its SS rather than tube so it seems to fly under most peoples radar but is a giant killer IMHO. My digital with this compares quite favorably even to some of the best vinyl systems I have heard.

Roku Soundbridge for $129 new at Best Buy a couple years back may be the best investment in sound overall I have made, especially combined with the mhdt DAC.

Also, Ipicked up a pair of OHM Super Walsh 2s (100S3 drivers) for $600 used here on agon a few years back and that has been another giant killing cornerstone.

DNM reson ICs for under $50 also a fantastic score!

I know somebody who picked up a pair of OHm Fs for free that turned out to be in good working order. Can't beat that!!!
Morrow SP-4 speaker cables and Morrow MA-4 interconnects with silver Eichmann bullet plugs. They have transformed my system sounding much more musical, realistic, and emotionally engaging.
While doing some cleaning here at work, we ran across the following:

(2) Crown D150A power amps, (2) Crown IC150A preamps, (2) Tandberg TCD 310 cassette decks, (2) Dynaco FM-5 tuners, a Technics SL1300 and a Revox A77. All completely mint.

They were all headed for the dumpster, so they're mine for free. The question is what to do with them now...aside from the Revox ;-))
